Fuel tank is torn up pretty good

I've been watching 66 run along Route 66 for years.
It hit a bacon truck last year.

>>132021 What's the red thing (not the stripe)? Is it a line with off-road diesel?

By the time I heard the news, it was off the tracker. How'd they recover it?

I didn't take the pics....but....

It sure looks like dyed tax free diesel to me

Yup, railroad diesel is the same as farm diesel in that it's dyed red to denote that highway tax hasn't been paid.

Hiway tax, yes.
But this is Illinois, sooooooo...

We have an "off-road diesel tax".

I live in the best, if the greater states of the union.

Interesting list there. That some states are very detailed in their exemptions and some far less so.
